Overview

About

Maintained by Taiane Schaedler PrassCRAN page ↗

Implementation of Probabilistic Regression Trees (PRTree), providing functions for model fitting and prediction, with specific adaptations to handle missing values. The main computations are implemented in 'Fortran' for high efficiency. The package is based on the PRTree methodology described in Alkhoury et al. (2020), "Smooth and Consistent Probabilistic Regression Trees" https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper_files/paper/2020/file/8289889263db4a40463e3f358bb7c7a1-Paper.pdf. Details on the treatment of missing data and implementation aspects are presented in Prass, T.S.; Neimaier, A.S.; Pumi, G. (2025), "Handling Missing Data in Probabilistic Regression Trees: Methods and Implementation in R" doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.03634.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("PRTree", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-prtree

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-PRTree

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-PRTree

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
